Inside My Makeup Bag

Thursday, January 19, 2012

I've gotten a few requests (via email) from readers to share my makeup routine but since I don't know how to properly put makeup on, I'm doing a "What's Inside My Makeup Bag" post instead. So indulge me for a moment as I share with you the contents of my makeup bag. I actually feel a bit ridiculous for posting this as I'm not exactly the poster girl for great, flawless-looking makeup (I couldn't even put on a decent smoky eye to save my life!) but I thought I'd share this with you just the same.

Let me start off with my makeup bag. I used to place all of my makeup items in one large pouch but it has gotten so bulky that I decided to break down the contents and use two pouches instead (it's quite ironic how a makeup idiot-savant like me has so many items inside her makeup bag). I got the pouches (pictured above) from SM Accessories for a steal (they came with a brush kit and another pouch in a smaller size -- for under Php 600 only!).

4. BenefitPorefessional - I only use this during special occasions but I love

how it makes my big pores look smaller

5. Majolica MajorcaPerfect Automatic Liner in Black

6 & 7. Forever 21 Quad Palettes - You'll never go wrong with tried & tested shades of grays and browns. These quads are fairly pigmented and are really inexpensive
(got them for less than Php 300 if I'm not mistaken)

8. MaybellineBlush in Creamy Cinnamon

9.Laura MercierEye Colour in Chocolate - I have deep-set eyes so darker shades work best on me

10. Etude House Eyeshadow in Dark Gray - I love how highly pigmented this eyeshadow is
compared to all of the other dark gray eye colors I've tried
